Texas sufrió una massive fall of his electric system during the last week, a lie that the state will be used by a devastator inner torment. Last night, 4 million electricity customers lost energy, including a total of 12.4 million users. The Mayor of his clients has recovered the electricity, but the partition has lasted for several days and the universal time has not yet ended. This article outlines the reasons for the Texas energy fall, including interruptions to natural gas intakes; the generating units that do not support the holiday; the lack of generation capability requirements or a capacity market in Texas; and the Texas Islamist of other red systems in United States which could have complementary electricity.
The energy court will take place inside the area awaited by the Texas Electricity Conservation Council, or ERCOT, which covers the mayor of Texas. ERCOT is an “independent system operator” that manages the electric power and is responsible for ensuring the summit and demand for electricity within its service area. ERCOT does not generate energy by itself, but in accordance with the instructions given to energy producers regarding energy required to satisfy the demand for electricity. The surge problem when the electricity demand disappears on the 15th of February must be paid during the holiday season and ERCOT will not be able to find sufficient energy production to satisfy this demand.
According to ERCOT, “extreme climatic conditions that hiccup many generations, of all combustible types, are disconnected and must be available”. Consequently, ERCOT declared Emergency Conditions on 15 February and initiated rotating courts, that is, issued the energy to groups of different clients for short periods. Sondeverbod, while more and more generation units are being disconnected, temporary courts are converting into an energy loss over long periods of extended periods. So, what is the reason for this?

One more important problem was the interruptions in the natural gas suministro of Texas. In 2020, the mayor’s natural gas supply is electric electricity and comparison a fuel that is combustible: 45.5% the electricity of texas provino del gas natural, 22.8% del viento, 17.9% del carbón, 10, 9% of nuclear energy and 2.9% of other sources. As for the assembly, it does not have sufficient natural gas available to enter the power plants with the constant pressures that are necessary. Dan Woodfin, ERCOT’s Senior Operations Director at the ERCOT, stated on 16 February 2021 “that part of the generation that has been disconnected has major problems with the natural gas system”. Reasons include competence with other users, including residential users, who need gas for heating; bags, tubes and gas cylinders; and the combined processing team.
Another major problem was the inadequate protection of the installation facilities against the holiday. Many commentators conservators in the United States are blaming the eelic projects linked to the energy crisis. It should be noted that ERCOT’s regional planning takes into account this type of energy only for 7% of the total electricity total during the December 2020 period from February 2021, even the eelic projects have much more electricity in other parts . Some Aeolian projects If the week passes due to the failure of the capacity of the unit used in free-range climate projects, it will be sufficient to follow the forecasts for winter forecasting. Burden power stations which uses gas, carbon and nuclear energy, which ensures that much more electricity is consumed during the winter months, as well as overhead due to the holiday, for example, the power supply systems that run.

Texas also suffers from the capacity requirements market or a capacity market, which contends the mandates paid by energy producers in order to generate the generation resources needed to function according to their needs, including whether or not such resources are used. The Mayor of United States jurisdictions has these requisites or markets that burn a security policy in accordance with the adequacy of recourse. But ERCOT does not do it. On the other hand, it allows the prices to flow freely, by surpassing that the probability of prices extremely high proportions a sufficient incentive for the energy producers to create capacity. The problem is that these expensive prices can be very costly for electricity consumers. Many analysts believe that floating prices are an ineffective strategy in comparison with the requirements or capacity markets to ensure that there are sufficient resources.
For the last time, Texas, there is no connection to the large speeches of the rest of the United States that may have had additional electricity when Texas met with an inadequate generation. This is a conscientious decision of the Texas governor, and the interconnection with the other speeches of the United States is the subject of the federal governor of this country having jurisdiction over ERCOT and its red. Texas maintains firm avoidance of federal regulation. Hecho, Texas ex-governor Rick Perry considers that the estranged teens will have to pay more than 3 days to accept federal regulation. Gov. Perry’s comments were received by indictment by his political opponents, saying the deaths and probable deaths resulting from the fall of the Texas power plant had been avoided and Texas had been connected to other states.

What time is it? The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, he was asked to investigate ERCOT. In fact, he admits that he, like the governor, has a responsibility to ensure the proper functioning of ERCOT and has promised reforms.
Regarding the reasons for the energy shortage, it is likely that the Texas Legislature will now require new protections for the electricity and gas heating system against the free climate. Sondeverbod, these protections are costly and certainly have a debate about who should pay. Following a previous Texas meeting in 2011, a report by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission of the United States (FERC) and the North American Electricity Corporation (NERC) advised that more protections be required. But ERCOT could not make such protections mandatory and the FERC / NERC’s advertising was practically ignored. With a mayor volatility in climatic patterns, the severity of the turmoil that is sweeping and a political reaction created against the Texas political leaders, it is possible that this state has its most aggressive media this year.
On the subject of the requirements or the market of capacity and interconnection of Texas with the other speeches of the United States, certainly have an intense discussion about how to proceed. The fall of the Texas electric system will press on Texas to evaluate if there is a change of direction on these topics, but it will be postponed soon to decide how the debate will unfold.
